Hamlet and Horatio might have some different perspectives, but in some ways they might end up having similar personalities or traits.
Hamlet acts more passionate than Horatio does. While Horatio tries to counterbalance things out by thinking about them with more logic. Hamlet says to Horatio “thou hast been as one, in suffering all that suffers nothing, a man that Fortune's buffets and rewards hast ta'en with equal thanks; and blest are those whose blood and judgment are so well commeddled that they are not a pipe for Fortune's finger to sound what stop she please." After saying Hamlet saying this to Horatio; Horatio has said to Hamlet that he has the motive and cue of passion. Even though, Horatio is fairly low-key in the book, nothing can stop his calmness. Another difference between these two characters is that Hamlet had made the right decision to place the death of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern. Horatio thinks that putting Rosencrantz and Guildenstern to death is a bad idea and would put death even to Hamlet.
The reason that Horatio thinks putting Rosencrantz and Guildenstern is a bad idea because he can see it happening. He also can tell Hamlet that it was a bad idea to do it. Hamlet had no option to do it or not. He would like to see it happen and hearing Horatio telling him not to do it. Hamlet was recognized that Horatio’s status of being an observer makes Horatio want to stay onto Hamlet’s story. Even though Horatio does not want to become part of this whole crisis of putting death of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, he will care for Hamlet. These two characters aren’t unlike but they tend to have a bond moment between these two.
After listing Hamlet and Horatio’s differences they might have similarities after having many differences.
